Telltale Walking Dead

About a month ago there were rumors of a walkingdeadgame possibly in the works. as a huge fan of the comics the only people I thought would be able to pull off the style of game that WalkingDead would need to be were Telltale.
Today I booted up the front page and was completely excited when I saw this news. And not just walkingdead but also Fables. another great comic series (to be honest though I'm only 2 trades into it).

It seems like a great studio to do comic book games. the watchmen beat 'em up was completely disappointing, maybe a point and click adventure would have suited that IP much better.

I believe that this is great news? does anybody feel differently? what other direction would you like to see these games take. and if you think its good what would you like to see in these games?

If telltale is to work on these games, it'll probably be point and click, and I don't see how The WalkingDead can be a point and click without turning out to be awkward.

Hamza's Jurassic Park preview said that game plays sort of like Heavy Rain, utilized QTEs and whatnot. He was using a 360 controller to play. Telltale might be going that route for The WalkingDead & Fables, but until more info is released who knows?

I don't know the TV show was Okay The last episode really left a bad taste in my mouth. I think if it sticks closer to the comic and uses the Heavy Rain system (I know its not the System but for lack of better words thats what I'm saying) that they said they are using on Jurassic Park it should be awesome.

After playing Episode 2 I bumped The WalkingDead's television show thread, now that I played Episode 3 I'm bumping your thread, Sam.

I like 3 a lot more than 2. They've all been great so far, but 2 forced the player into making dumb decisions and into idiotic positions. In 3 there wasn't any of that horror movie cliche stuff, and the decisions you have to make are a lot tougher. Many times I found myself second guessing what I did and my motives for doing it, which is rare for a video game that isn't a Western RPG. I really can't wait until all the episodes are out and I complete them on this run, because I'm definitely going to replay them all and see how differently things turn out across the entire "series".

I've played through episodes 1 and 2 so far. 3 will be conquered today probably. I'm really liking the character development that carries on. I've found myself hating characters I originally liked and vice versa as the game goes on.

I was planning on playing this before and during my flight home, but its being buggy for me. The dialoge options within the first 5 minutes of episode 3 aren't lining up with the decisions I made last chapter. I'm not going to play it if its not the story I've worked towards.

Ep2 Spoilers:

Spoiler!

I didn't help kill Lilly's dad and I chose not to take the food from the station wagon at the end. In ep 3, Lee says 'We did kill her dad' instead of 'You killed her dad' like it should. Kenny asks right after that if Clem 'is still upset for agreeing to take that stuff from the station wagon'. Which I didn't. Videogarmes...

Holy fucking shit. I played the latest episode of the game today and damn.

Spoiler!

As soon as Ben ran and left Clementine to the zombies early on I said "That's it, first chance I get that fucker is dead." Then he proceeded to be a fuck up for the rest of the game until I had my chance. I didn't save his ass, I let that zombie hanging from the bell pull him back and down they fell. I was really tired of giving that kid second, third, forth, dozenth chances.

Molly is fucking awesome, I hope she's in the next ep.

Lee getting bitten at the end was such a fucking downer. I had just told that Vernon guy off and was actually hoping there'd be a "happy" ending for Lee and Clem and company somewhere down the line. High hopes for a WalkingDead product I guess. Really gonna be sad to see him go next ep. Hell, I'm sad the next ep is the last ep.

I won this game in a competition (my zombie survival plan is badass apparently) and I've played Ep 1 & 2 so far. I got to play the next episode[s] and the fucking game is acting weird. The graphics have chunks missing, like people will be missing half a face etc. I've changed nothing on my PC since playing the previous two episodes and I already troubleshooted the issue, made sure that the options are correct in the Catalyst Control Center etc. I'm so peeved because I really want to continue playing.
